The audience most likely to be adversely affected by revisionist
propaganda, and hence the target of ``counter-propaganda'' is obviously
not jewish (except a lunatic fringe not worth worrying about).
However, most of the films made on the Holocaust are really targeted to
Jews: who but an Ashkenazi Jew would be touched by pictures of shtels
and children/elderly people in peyot and ``kapote?''
One of the films I thought about is "In dark places" in which the
famous Susan Sontag is playing a central role. However, the
distributor I contacted requires $10/min for it being shown on TV, even
though it would be shown not for profit, on a non-commercial channel.
So my first questions are (please respond by mail):
1. has anybody seen this film or has more info on it?
2. does anybody know of a cheap way to obtain it?
More generally:
3. suggestions for other films (concrete names, please). Possible
contents: actual footage made by Nazis (they were so meticulous
that they documented their actions on film), films by non-Jews
(army, clergy).
4. background info on the revisionist movement in all its guises and
disguises.
Thanks.

[MICHEL FINGERHUT] Certainly "Night and Fog" comes to mind, but it's been many years since I've seen it, so I can't say for sure how well it will fit your requirements. Another candidate is "Genocide", which is a single episode from the (BBC?) documentary "World at War". I believe both are still available through the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (at least for rental). > 4. background info on the revisionist movement in all its guises and > disguises. > > Thanks.
